interestrateripoff Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/gulf-states-could-have-clinical-screenings-to-detect-homosexuals-and-stop-them-entering-the-country-8867046.html Kuwait and other states could conduct medical tests in an attempt to “detect” homosexuals trying to enter Gulf states, a senior official has announced.Yousouf Mindkar said routine clinical screenings of expatriates entering Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) such as Kuwait would be introduced under new proposals. Persons who are identified as LGBT through the tests would then be refused entry into the country. A central committee tasked with the status of expatriates will view the proposal on November 11. Speaking to local daily paper Al Rai, the director of public health at the Kuwaiti health ministry said that whilst medical centres already conduct tests to assess the health of those entering Kuwait, they will “take stricter measures that will help us detect gays who will be then barred from entering Kuwait or any of the GCC member states.” He did not detail exactly what procedures these screenings would involve. Will they ask if you are gay as part of the test? I'd love to know what tests they think they are going to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubuntu Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 ha are they going to start with their own populations then? Although they may not identify as LGBT there are plenty who indulge, it's almost part of their culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTMark Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Will they ask if you are gay as part of the test? I'd love to know what tests they think they are going to use. Me too. I'm amazed that the Middle East has succeeded in a medical breakthrough that the West hasn't conquered yet. I can't see how this could possibly go wrong. Spiky hair? Check. Sleeveless top? Check. Get back on the plane. Reminds me a bit of an episode of Doctor Who (story: The Mysterious Planet) in which one of the characters called Sabalom Glitz describes some of the planet's natives as "a bunch of backward savages".

The TV series "Playing it Straight" gives an idea of how it's possible to fool people when relying on appearance and body language alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have its called the Al Marcelo Bin Rodriguez - an arab sides up to you in the toilets at Doha, Dubai, Kuwait City or Abu Dhabi and makes suggestive gestures at you.

MrPin Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I imagine the "Gulf States" have plenty of Gays of their own, and just don't like to admit it! A couple of my mates are gay, but they had to tell me, as I didn't notice! So I reckon the Kuwaitis won't notice either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in Kuwait its quite acceptable for two men to go up to each other kiss, hold hands and feel each other in public. On the other hand its quite obsene for a husband and wife to hold hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gulf States are all dictatorships so what they do in their own country is up to some crusty old absolute monarch who was born in the 1920s.

A Tehran journalist who interviewed several Iranian homosexuals to show that that they do indeed exist received 60 lashes and a four-year jail term. I'm afraid officially they don't exist and I wouldn't suggest trying to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
